thanks alot Babelfish very helpful

Not a problem.

Just had another thought after reading over your post again. I was too caught up in the making the tank issue to think of other options . I currently have a rubbermaid stock tank in my living room as an indoor pond (goldfish rescue ). The come in sizes from 50 gallons to 300 gallons. It might save making one.
